In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) xenografts in vivo, ORIC-944 significantly depleted H3K27 trimethylation and induced tumor regressions in a dose-dependent manner.ORIC-944 demonstrated strong tumor growth inhibition as a single agent with once daily oral dosing in both enzalutamide-responsive and enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer models. These in vivo studies established that effective single agent inhibition of PRC2 via EED results in decreased tumor cell growth in PRC2-dependent prostate cancer models.In summary, ORIC-944 is a potent, highly selective, allosteric, orally bioavailable PRC2 inhibitor via the EED subunit that represents a differentiated strategy to block PRC2 activity in selected cancers. We are developing ORIC-944 as a best-in-class PRC2 inhibitor for the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer and expect to file an IND in the second half of 2021.
